By far the funniest and most clever Wikipedia page I randomly stumbled on. Kudos. The fish genuinely made me laugh out loud — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumtimz I B Learnin (talk • contribs) 07:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
Request for peer review
Hi @Extraordinary Writ – Thanks for your help with the peer review of George H. W. Bush 1992 presidential campaign. (It is now a GA) Since then, I have been working on some other presidential campaigns, and I feel that Ronald Reagan 1980 presidential campaign could be a potential GA. It would be a great help if you could help me with peer review of Reagan's article. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:06, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- I'd be glad to. I should have some comments for you shortly. Cheers! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 16:50, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Deletion discussion of World Pantheist Movement
Please also follow also the discussion on User_talk:David_Gerard#Edit_shown_in_the_revision_history_of_the_article_World_Pantheist_Movement before considering the deletion of the article. Thank you. - Lothaeus (talk) 13:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- I relisted the discussion, but I'm not otherwise involved in it. Since I'm not an administrator, I don't have the ability to delete articles. I'd encourage you to let the discussion play out: plenty of experienced editors are participating, so the outcome will hopefully be understandable even if you don't agree with it. Let me know if you have any questions. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- All right, thanks for your answer. I have added the link to the relevant user talk section of David Gerard to the deletion discussion page of the World Pantheist Movement because I think it could be useful to the person who is maybe deleting it. Best wishes, Lothaeus (talk) 21:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Another deletion discussion
Hello. I want to acknowledge that closing the Angola, Deleware Afd way too early was not a good idea [1]. Looking back on the whole thing it was somewhat disruptive behavior on my part.
I mean, when two editors come to my talk page, and one is an Admin, and they both tell me I am in error. And I am told, I need to revert my edit [2]. Well, that was the first clue that something was wrong. And I should have reverted as soon as I saw both your messages. My next mistake was allowing this error judgement to cause a DRV discussion.
I am embarrassed that I let such poor judgement cause a disruption. I am chalking it up to a learning experience and the fact I should have known better. I'm also reading up on this stuff again, such as WP:NACD, WP:INVOLVED and WP:DRV. I'm probably going to post the same message on User:Hog Farm's page. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, don't worry too much about it, Steve Quinn. I certainly understand where you were coming from: after all, the outcome of your closure ended up being correct. But the community nowadays seems to take a much more favorable view of WP:Process is important than before, particularly in the context of AfDs. (Whether or not that's a good thing is certainly up for debate.) I certainly don't blame you for not being aware of that: a decade ago, it's possible that your closure might have gone unchallenged. Anyways, I'm confident that you acted in good faith, and I particularly appreciate your ability to reevaluate your position. Have a pleasant rest of your week. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. And that essay to which you linked is really good. It is food for thought about how important process is. According to that essay, process levels the playing field for all editors. I will keep this in mind going forward. I have to say, Wikipedia does a good job of keeping the playing field level. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 17:05, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
